To make Air Fryer Garlic Herb Chicken Wings, you need fresh ingredients. Here’s what you need: - 2 pounds chicken wings - 4 tablespoons olive oil - 4 cloves garlic, minced - 2 teaspoons dried oregano - 2 teaspoons dried thyme - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika - 1 teaspoon onion powder - 1 teaspoon salt - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper - Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish) - Lemon wedges (for serving) Each ingredient plays a key role in flavor. The chicken wings are the star. They soak up the garlic and herbs. Olive oil helps the wings crisp up in the air fryer. Garlic adds a strong taste, while oregano and thyme bring earthy notes. Smoked paprika gives a nice depth. Onion powder adds sweetness. Salt and pepper enhance all the flavors. Garnishing with fresh parsley makes the dish pop. Lemon wedges add a zesty kick when served. This combination creates a tasty meal that everyone will love. First, you should preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). This takes about 5 minutes. Preheating is key. It helps the wings cook evenly and get crispy. Next, it's time to make the marinade. In a large bowl, combine 4 tablespoons of olive oil with 4 minced garlic cloves, 2 teaspoons of dried oregano, 2 teaspoons of dried thyme, 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon of onion powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. This mix gives the wings great flavor. Toss the chicken wings into the bowl. Coat them well in the marinade. For the best taste, let them marinate for at least 30 minutes. If you have time, refrigerate them for up to 2 hours. Now, arrange the marinated chicken wings in the air fryer basket. Place them in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the basket; this ensures they cook well. Cook the wings for 25 to 30 minutes. Flip them halfway through cooking. This helps them brown nicely. Once they are golden and crispy, remove them from the air fryer. Let them rest for a few minutes before serving. To get those wings really crispy, start with dry chicken. Pat them with paper towels. This helps remove excess moisture. Use a little baking powder in your marinade. It makes the skin super crispy. Cook your wings in a single layer in the air fryer. This lets the hot air flow around them. Flip them halfway for even cooking. If you like them extra crispy, add a few extra minutes to your cook time. For deeper flavor, marinate the wings longer. Aim for at least 30 minutes, but 2 hours is better. The key is to coat them well with the olive oil and spices. You can switch up the herbs too. Try adding rosemary or basil for a different taste. A pinch of cayenne pepper can give your wings a nice kick. Experiment with flavors to find your favorite mix! Serve your wings hot with dips like ranch or blue cheese. Fresh veggies like carrots and celery also pair well. For a fun twist, add lemon wedges on the side. This gives a fresh burst of flavor. You can also arrange them on a platter with fresh parsley for a nice look. This makes them great for parties or game day! {{image_2}} You can turn up the heat with spicy garlic herb wings. To do this, add hot sauce or cayenne pepper to your marinade. This extra kick will make your wings exciting and bold. You can adjust the spice levels to fit your taste. If you like it mild, start with a little hot sauce. If you want it fiery, add more. Experiment until you find your perfect heat balance. Another tasty option is honey garlic chicken wings. Adding honey brings a sweet touch to your dish. Mix honey into the marinade with the garlic and herbs. This sweetness pairs well with the savory flavors. If you want a complex taste, try adding soy sauce or ginger. These ingredients will help balance the sweet and savory notes. For a fresh twist, try lemon garlic wings. Use fresh lemon juice in your marinade for a bright flavor. The acidity helps cut through the richness of the wings. After cooking, you can garnish them with lemon wedges. This will enhance the taste and add a colorful touch to your plate. Fresh herbs like cilantro or basil can also make great garnishes, adding a pop of flavor and color. To keep your chicken wings fresh, use airtight containers. Glass or plastic containers work well. Make sure the wings cool to room temperature before sealing. Store the wings in the fridge for up to three days. For the best texture, reheat in the air fryer. Set it to 375°F (190°C) and heat for about 5-10 minutes. This method keeps the wings crispy. You can also use an oven, but the air fryer gives better results. If you want to store wings longer, freezing is a great option. Place them in freezer bags. Remove as much air as possible before sealing. You can freeze them for up to three months. To thaw, place the wings in the fridge overnight. This method keeps them safe and tasty. Once thawed, reheat as mentioned above for crispy wings. Cook chicken wings in your air fryer for 25-30 minutes. Flip them halfway during cooking. This time helps the wings get crispy and golden brown. If you like them extra crispy, you can add a few more minutes. Just keep an eye on them to avoid burning. Yes, you can use frozen chicken wings! Just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time. Cook them at 375°F (190°C) for about 30-35 minutes. Flip them halfway for even cooking. Make sure they are cooked all the way through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). These wings pair well with many tasty sides. Here are some suggestions: - Celery sticks - Carrot sticks - Ranch dressing - Blue cheese dressing - Crispy potato wedges - Fresh salad - Garlic bread Feel free to mix and match these sides for a fun meal!
